WEST HAM defender James Collins has promised they will be able to handle the pressure of their relegation "six pointer" at Sheffield United today.

The Welsh centre-half believes Hammers' run of three straight wins has given them the belief they can get out of danger. Collins said: "In the last few games we have given ourselves a massive chance. This is a massive game and if we win we are right back in the fight.

"The boys are confident. Every time you go to Sheffield United you expect a tough game. But all the boys are prepared for that.

"This is a six-pointer. The boys have forgotten about the win at Arsenal already. We aren't looking for a draw at Blades but it's not the end of the world. We have set ourselves a target for each block of games, but if we do get only a draw we mustn't let our heads drop. Everyone is buzzing."
